He can take the cash, invest it and pay the lower rent. 200k should be a good supplement to his income to 100

Just went to boot camp graduation at Great Lakes a couple weeks ago. 900 new recruits every Friday, quite a ceremony.If you can swing it, buying a house at every duty station, then keeping the house and renting when the orders come, makes a nice supplemental retirement plan.I know several military that have houses scattered across the country.One year I was at Wright Pat in November, and it was the coldest Nov I can remember.

The redevelopment of the land into what is now Atlantic Station was financed largely by private investment, but was heavily supplemented by a special tax district to pay for city tax bonds for public utilities (streets, sidewalks, and sewers).

I was recently laid off (which was a blessing in disguise) and trying to figure out a way to efficiently supplement my missing income while having a flexible/ self-managing schedule.

HI BP just wanted to introduce myself Im new to investing looking to buy my first rentals I have been researching a few markets Memphis, Akron, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo ext. just ready to get my feet wet looking for cash flow to eventually supplement my retirement.

first off its a complete pipe dream to think you can just live running rentals and its not a full time job.you seeing it now with the few you have what do you think it will be like with 50. or 100.. which is what you need to replace your income. at least according to your math.many will say PM does it.. well there goes a big chunk of your income and you need more doors to afford someone else to deal with the three TTTs.... personally I would look at a combination.. some rental income to supplement your income .. but to fully replace it .. not so sure in your market.. some markets in the US.. were you can buy rentals for the price of cars.. well that can work.. in higher priced markets pretty tough and unrealistic .. so don't get discouraged.. just get real.. and deal with reality.. 

good place to invest is TExas as long as you live there.. you get the benefit of no income tax to supplement your sky high property tax's in Texas.. buy and hold can be challenge there if you are not a resident... prop taxs  shifting foundations.. etc etc..

Now, how does this work without causing massive amounts of inflation, well the company still hires out their positions as same rate, then the US government steps in and supplements the income VIA stimulus for an employee that makes under a certain amount, because lets face it a CEO making 500K does not need a pay increase.

i have a few questions and im hoping some one can enlighten me a bit or at least point me in the right direction. my name is Gerardo im fairly new to RE and BiggerPockets for that matter. i reside in newark nj and im in law enforcement. i have recently decided to create as a goal 10k in passive income within the next 11 years to supplement my pension. at that time both of my children will be headed into college and id like to be able to rely on just the police and fire pension sysytem. i want to that by using the buy and hold method.my first question is though i currently dont have a huge amount of cash (im saving a lot though) do i utalize an FHA loan even though pmi will be attached making cashflow that much less or do i sacrafice passing up on deals untill have enough for a 20% down of some kind?
